A computer-implemented method comprises providing a synchronous replication relationship from one or more storage objects of a first storage node to one or more replicated storage objects of a second storage node, providing an asynchronous replication relationship with an asynchronous update schedule from the one or more storage objects of the first storage node to one or more replicated storage objects of the third storage node to provide a protection configuration, tracking, with the third storage node of the tertiary site, a state of the secondary storage site, automatically performing a failover from the primary storage site to the secondary storage site and activating a synchronous mirror copy for the one or more replicated storage objects of the second storage node, and automatically initiating realignment and reconfiguration of the protection configuration to the tertiary storage site based upon the state of the secondary storage site.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the realignment and protection configuration from the secondary storage site to the tertiary storage site occurs based on detection of activating a synchronous mirror copy for the one or more replicated storage objects of the second storage node.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the primary and secondary storage sites are located in a first region and the tertiary storage site is located in a second region for cloud resident datasets.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the failover comprises an automatic unplanned failover (AUFO) from the primary storage site to the secondary storage site.
12. The multi-site distributed storage system of claim 8, wherein the realignment and protection configuration from the secondary storage site to the tertiary storage site occurs based on detection of activating a synchronous mirror copy for the one or more replicated storage objects of the second storage node.
13. The multi-site distributed storage system of claim 8, wherein the realignment and protection configuration comprises an asynchronous replication relationship or mirror vault policy from the secondary storage site to the tertiary storage site.
14. The multi-site distributed storage system of claim 8, wherein the failover comprises an automatic unplanned failover (AUFO) from the primary storage site to the secondary storage site.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the realignment and protection configuration from the secondary storage site to the tertiary storage site occurs based on detection of activating a synchronous mirror copy for the one or more replicated storage objects of the second storage node.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the failover comprises an automatic unplanned failover (AUFO) from the primary storage site to the secondary storage site.
